Heterogenous scaling in the inter-event time of on-line bookmarking

Wang, Peng ; Xie, Xiao-Yi ; Yeung, Chi Ho ; Wang, Bing-Hong

In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, 2011, vol. 390, no. 12, p. 2395-2400

In this paper, we study the statistical properties of bookmarking behaviors in Delicious.com. We find that the inter-event time (τ) distributions of bookmarking decay in a power-like manner as τ increases at both individual and population levels. Remarkably, we observe a significant change in the exponent when the inter-event time increases from the intra-day range to the inter-day range. In...

Heterogenous human dynamics in intra- and inter-day time scales

Wang, Peng ; Lei, T. ; Yeung, Chi-Ho ; Wang, Bing-Hong

In: Europhysics Letters, 2011, vol. 94, no. 1, p. 18005

In this paper, we study two large data sets containing the information of two different human behaviors: blog-posting and wiki-revising. In both cases, the interevent time distributions decay as power laws at both individual and population level. Unlike previous studies, we put emphasis on time scales and obtain heterogeneous decay exponents in the intra- and inter-day range for the same dataset....
